I'm so loving EVERYTHING My Creative Time. The stitching on the dies is adorable and the stamps are super cute.

So Halloween is always a fun event for my family. I have two sisters and two brothers and between the five of us, we have eleven kids. Every Halloween, we all go to my younger sisters house and we take the kids trick or treating, then we gather for pizza. Hearing the kids laugh and play together is priceless.

Kasi and I decided that this year we would take be taking cupcakes. We created these cute cupcake toppers using Emma's latest release.

YES....it's that time of year again for me. I'm so excited about this one.

Yesterday I logged into my personal Facebook account to check on my cousins little girl. She's 3 years old and has been in the hospital for the past 40 days. During this time, she has had two open heart surgeries, 2 caths and another large surgery to repair a lymphatic nodes. Gigi is all that I have been thinking about for the past 40 days. She is in my daily thoughts and prayers. In Jesus name, she will be healed!!! Anywho, when I logged in, I saw a post from Becky Higgins as to the new Christmas PL kit. I ran over to HSN and ordered it right away. I have been waiting for a December Daily, Project Life style for a couple years now and I just COULD NOT pass this one up.

Oh my....it's she gorgeous?????

What You Get

8" x 8" album with 20 divided pocket pages

(10) 4" x 6" journaling cards

(80) 3" x 4" journaling cards

2 markers - Silver Metallic

2 markers - Gold Metallic

This kit is going to be perfect!! I can totally enjoy the holidays and still document them without all the stress of having to create all my pages. In 2011, I made my first December Daily (see that post HERE) and to be honest, it was fun, but it totally burned me out. I tried out a ton of different techniques, created all my dividers and all my insert cards. YES I love it and it's beautiful, but just want to keep it simple this year. OK.....those that know me, know that I will probably be jazzing them up a bit lol, but I'm really going to keep it simple - at least that's my plan ;)

Just playing around with some of my new goodies from My Creative Time. I ordered a ton of things last week during the sale.

Loving these new large tag dies I purchased - there is so much you can do with them.

For this project I created a vellum and acetate tag with some yummy sequins confetti and layered that on top of a craft and stars pattern paper. I added a black cut ghost to the pattern paper so that when I layered the vellum/acetate/sequins tag, the "shadow" ghost shows up. I sketched this out the other day and it turned out exactly as I envisioned it.

About Me ♥

My family is the most important thing to me. I have been blessed with a wonderful husband and two beautiful children. They are the reason why I scrapbook. To see my kids faces and hear them talking and laughing when looking at the Scrapbooks ............... isPRICELESS!!
